I like everything about Dartmouth except...

I’m currently a freshman at Dartmouth, and I have not had a single sip of alcohol yet. And neither have a lot of my closest friends. There are a lot of people who drink, and Greek life is definitely big, but even if you go to a dance party at one of the frats, no one pressures you to drink. There’s a lot of stuff to do on weekends if you aren’t a drinker. For example, this past Saturday, some friends and I rode bikes to an apple orchard and picked apples, and then we baked apple pie that night and hung out in our commons with a bunch of other non-drinkers and played Wii and had a nerf-gun battle, and it was tons of fun!

So to answer your question, it’s easy to find other people who don’t drink, and it’s easy to find something fun to do on weekends that doesn’t involve alcohol or frats.
